[Elecraft] K3 Headphone audio.

[Don Wilhelm]

I also use the Yamaha CM-500 headset, and a pair of RS Optimus speakers 
that I found in a 2nd hand store.  No problem between the two.  If you 
are using inefficient speakers, then I can understand your problem, but 
OTOH, there is an AF gain control that you can easily use when switching 
from speakers to headphones.  The K3 cannot be "automatic" to all users 
choices of speaker response and headphone sensitivity.
